Fireblade Software's horror-tinged tale of piracy in an apocalyptic Age of Sea, Abandon Ship, has teased curious fans of nautical adventure for the better part of two years now. Its take on 17th century sea life, mixed with its picturesque art style and dusting of supernatural intrigue makes for a colorful take on the long-standing nautical sub-genre. Now the game has arrived on the shores of Early Access, so we land-lovers can finally dabble in it.

WhenAbandon Shipwas revealed last year, it gave me a big naval oil painting vibe- which made sense, as Fireblade Software utilizes the Age of Sail - that almost 300 year period between the 16th and 19th century where big sailing ships dominated trade and warfare across the seas. After making a splash with the initial trailer, the development team has been working hard on this strategic adventure title. Now, a new trailer shows us exactly what we have to look forward to when the game releases later this year.

You're the captain of a seafaring vessel, with tens of worthy hands following your orders. As you navigate uncertain waters, every ship on the horizon could be crewed with pirates eager to begin boarding action, kill your crew, and make off with anything worth grabbing from your cargo hold. In Abandon Ship, you'll need superior tactics and an iron resolve to survive such an assault. Gamepedia and the game's developer, Fireblade Software, are pleased to announce the Official Abandon Ship Wiki.
